Colombia made a strong start to their 2026 Fifa World Cup qualification campaign, winning half and drawing the other half of their first eight games. However, Los Cafeteros have now lost two of their last three matches and Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Uruguay in Montevideo saw them overtaken in second by the same opponents, albeit they are level on 19 points with La Celeste and are still on course to achieve their top-six aims.

Ecuador, meanwhile, are unbeaten in their last four qualifiers and can draw level on points with their next opponents with a win at the Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Melendez in Barranquilla on Tuesday (23:00). Below is my Colombia vs Ecuador prediction, complete with all the latest team news and match odds.
Colombia head coach Nestor Lorenzo could make a couple of changes to his starting XI after last weekend's late defeat to Uruguay.
James Rodriguez (Rayo Vallecano) and Rafael Borre (Internacional) both came on in the 72nd minute in Montevideo and could come into the lineup on Tuesday, assuming the former shakes off a fitness issue. Juan Quintero (Racing Club) and Jhon Duran (Aston Villa) made way for the duo and their spots in the side are at risk in Barranquilla, although Quintero will hope that his goal - a clever free-kick to open the scoring in the Uruguayan capital - will be enough to earn him back-to-back starts.
Jhon Cordoba (Krasnodar) might be a more obvious replacement for Duran, though, having missed out in Montevideo due to suspension.
Yerry Mina (Cagliari), Carlos Cuesta (Genk) and Santiago Arias (Bahia) are options if Lorenzo wants to make any alterations in defence, while midfielder Carlos Andres Gomez (Stade Rennais) will be looking for more minutes after scoring as a late substitute last time out.
